You may assign department to fixed questions and make them required or 'not applicable'.

Topics

Surveys questions are organized by topic. To create a topic, scroll to the bottom of your page. Click and drag the button 'DRAG TO ADD TOPIC' to any place in your survey.

A new window will open. Enter the text you want your guests to see for that topic. Then choose and type a name for your topic, this will be an internal name used on your reports.

At any time, you can click and drag your topic to change its position. ​

To edit or delete a topic, click on 'Edit'. You will only see the 'Delete' option if there is no question under that topic. Note about deleting Topics: You cannot delete a topic if there have ever been any questions answered under the topic. This is for historical reporting purposes.

Topics should be viewed as report headers as all questions that roll up under a topic will fall under that topic in your results data.

CREATING A QUESTION

To create a new question, scroll to the bottom of your page. Click and drag the button 'DRAG TO ADD QUESTION' to any place in your survey just as you would have done for adding a topic.

A new pop-up module will open. In the new window, you have the option of organizing this question under a topic. If you have previously created questions that are not currently part of your survey, you will see them on this menu, so you can bring them back.

To create a new question, click on 'ADD TO SURVEY' button and fill the form as described on the screen.
